The S182K is specifically designed for splicing fiber with different mode field
diameters. Much like the S182A, the function keys and LCD monitor are located
behind the splicing area in order to provide you with uncluttered, efficient
access to the splicing area.

The S182K is optimized to accommodate 3-to 5-mm cleave lengths and features a
high precision re-arcing function that produces smaller splice points and low
splice loss. The S182K does not touch the bare portion of the fiber and when
used with FITEL's High Strength Splicing Kits provides a high strength splice
with an average tensile strength of 20N. The S182 can also be used for non-high
strength applications.
